Default Coens to Adapt Chabon's Yiddish Policemen's Union

Coens to Adapt Chabon's Yiddish Policemen's Union
Source: Variety February 12, 2008


Variety says that the No Country for Old Men team of Joel and Ethan Coen and producer Scott Rudin will transfer another Pulitzer Prize-winning author's work into a film.

Columbia Pictures has acquired screen rights to the best-selling Michael Chabon novel "The Yiddish Policemen's Union," with the Coens writing, directing and producing with Rudin.

Chabon sets up a contemporary scenario where Jewish settlers are about to be displaced by U.S. government's plans to turn the frozen locale of Sitka, Alaska, over to Alaskan natives. Against this backdrop is a noir-style murder mystery in which a rogue cop investigates the killing of a heroin-addicted chess prodigy who might be the messiah.

The Coens will turn their attention to the book after they shoot A Serious Man for Working Title and Focus.
I'll watch ANYTHING the Coens make. And this one sounds...absurd.

And they better keep that title. Anybody here read the book?

That's why they should keep it.

The Coens have some nice sounding projects lined up:
Burn After Reading
A Serious Man
The Yiddish Policemen's Union

And an, apparantely, VERY violent western.

And I still have to see No Country For Old Men.

I think they will, it's very them.

Burn After Reading sounds great and i am intrigued by their western.

Nice. I really enjoyed the book, and I'm sure it will make a good movie.

I'm still waiting for an 'Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay' movie, though.
